It's Summertime and the heat [and just the right amount of rain] are making our gardens look like we might know what we're doing! lol Don't count on it! But our gardens put me in a floral mood for Judy's Freshly Made Sketches #743... take a peek...
Okay, like you might be, I was a little freaked out over those strips, but then
I remembered that our sketches are only a 'glimpse' of what the shapes
might mean to us! See what I mean...
Two water-colored florals from Pinkfresh Studios' Beautiful Blooms set.
And when I couldn't find a matching 'periwinkle' blue cardstock in my stash,
I just watercolored a strip the same wilted violet as my 'Delphiniums!'
All of this was popped up on my SU Subtle Texture panel and added
to a side-fold A2 card base.
A little stitching and an embossed circle from my snippets and all
I had left was to top it off with another Betterpress-ed sentiment.
I can't wait to see what my teammates have added to the team page since I was there last. And just what will YOU make to represent those strips? I look forward to seeing your cards, too! You have until Monday July 6 at 3 pm to join in!

When I first saw this sketch, I thought "what?". Then I scrolled down and thought "of course"! A perfect answer to the sketch and I'm loving the lovely shade of periwinkle!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely CAS card! It is nice to see stamping 😁
ReplyDeleteHa! My mind is not nearly as great as yours but I like that we both shared a floral theme! Your blooms are daintily watercolored and yay for snippets!
ReplyDeleteI like the way you think, my friend, this is just lovely! No rain for us until the weekend, but the HEAT...OY!!!
ReplyDeleteBrilliant! It looks just like the sketch, but with those pretty flowers standing in for the rectangles. Beautifully CAS and just so lovely, Michele!
ReplyDeleteWorking to a sketch nearly always stumps me, so I am always impressed by your interpretation. This is very clever and very pretty. Love the fact that you embossed that circle. It is those little details that does it xx
ReplyDeleteI too was seeing beautiful stocks of flowers but your interpretation is one to drool over! Love the stitching, the soft colors and beautiful blossoms.
ReplyDeleteA gorgeous rendition of the sketch, Michele! The soft colored delphiniums look just like some that are currently in bloom in my garden. Beautifully done! The only thing missing are pictures of your gardens in bloom. Would love to see them. (wink, wink)
ReplyDeleteLovely card, Michele. Clever idea to watercolor the paper when you couldn't find the cardstock. Your cards always look so crisp and clean. Thank you so much for sharing your ideas.
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely card with those dainty delphiniums. Love how you watercolored the strip to match the color, and then added the stitching. A perfect take on the sketch. TFS
ReplyDeleteThis is just gorgeous, Michele. Definitely a "less is more" creation.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty card Michele, there is so many different textures but the CAS vibe is still there!
ReplyDeleteCAS and a perfect way to use the sketch Michele! And oh so pretty!! I love your Delphiniums and the soft coloring, and the matching horizontal strip too! Lovely, lovely card my friend!! Hugs. :0)
ReplyDeleteBeautiful take on the sketch.
ReplyDeleteSuch a pretty colour for these beautiful flowerrs Michele! Love this wonderful CAS creation! :)
ReplyDeleteThose periwinkle blooms work great for the sketch, Michele, and are lovely with the rest of the design elements.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous blooms for a fabulous CAS version of the sketch, Michele. Love the soft colours. xx
ReplyDeletePeriwinkle is one of my favorite blues - and one of my favorite words - sweet sweet card!
ReplyDeleteOh how very elegant! Those flowers are so soft and pretty against all that white background - just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI just love the colors that you used on those pretty blooms. Really beautiful.!
